Explorer injector Questions (now with pics)

Couple of questions...
I have recently purchaced a 1999 Explorer 5.0 intake with a 65 mm TB and a 65 mm EGR plate and wow what a difference between them and the stock HO intakes but anywho, my questions are as such.
The injectors are 24lb correct? They are kind of an egg shell white color if that helps.
The injectors have a different plug for power and i am curious if anyone makes an adapter or what vehicle would be a good donor to steal from at the graveyard to splice into the original fuel injection harness...or can that be done?
Thanks in advance.

that intake is a gt40 intake, the tb and spacer will not work without modifications, the injectors are 19lb units and a couple companies make adapters but it would probly be easier to get a set that will work for your setup

I have already made plans to drill and tap the #5 runner apposed to installing in the air tube, I will also be drilling and tapping for the EGR coolant line passage. The TB linkage was already modded when i bought the set up as well the tube was installed for the plumbing to the valve cover.
 I was under the assumption that the injectors were 24lb:dunno:  but I already have the 19 lb injectors from an HO so i will just stick with those. Thanks.
I will post pics a little later of the set up.

Here are a few pics...I have had the intakes/valve covers and EGR plate blasted and painted with a high heat paint good for 980 degrees F, I think they came out looking pretty good.

looks good yeah i thought you had the explorer 90* spacer but you have a normal one, the 00 explorer engine i bought for my car had white ones in it also, i think when the went to the ev6 injectors the 19's became white. but if you already have the h.o.'s you shoulnt have any problems. looks sweet though

I actually got the 90 elbow spacer as well when i bought it but it will likely be pitched or given away. Thanks for the compliment. Now i just need to get rid of the HO intakes and spare injectors,spare fuel rail, HO stock headers and HO valve covers as I have no need for them any longer as the garage is getting pretty full. I have recently bought a low mile 92 HO motor complete that i have stripped down to just the block and inners and will start to install the new goodies along with the Eddie heads that i have. I will post pics of it once she is all together and before it goes into the bird. The original motor thats in it only has 60k miles but i will just throw that on the stand for now and maybe sell it or keep for a spare if the HO block ever lets go. The only thing that sucks about the original motor are the flat tops in her...cant use the Eddie heads with it or i never would be taking it out.
